5 0

Answer:

  • 200

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

  • Total certificates = 500
  • Math = m
  • Science = s

<u>Equations </u>

  • m+s = 500  ⇒ s = 500 - m

<u>Girls who won certificates:</u>

  • 2/3m = 50 + 3/2*1/2s
  • 2/3m = 50 + 3/4s

<u>Multiply both sides by 12 to clear fractions</u>

  • 8m = 600 + 9s

<u>Substitute s</u>

  • 8m = 600 + 9(500 - m)
  • 8m = 600 + 4500 - 9m
  • 17m = 5100
  • m = 5100/17
  • m =300

<u>Girls who won math:</u>

  • 2/3*300 = 200

There are 420 students. 63 students were out sick. What percent of the student population is ill?
emmainna [20.7K]
To find the percentage,here's what we can do:
\frac{student \: out \: sick}{original \: population} \times 100\%

The percentage would then be:
=63/420×100%
=3/20×100%
=0.15×100%
=15%

Therefore the answer is 15%.

Triangle ABC will be dilated according to the rule (x,y), where point F is the center of dilation. What will be the coordinates
Arturiano [62]
To dilate an object using a given scale factor we can multiply the coordinates of the object by the scale factor to get the coordinates of the image. However, this can only be done when the center of dilation is the origin (0,0). For non-origin center of dilation like in our case we have to locate the points of the image by construction in a Cartesian plane using the center and the scale factor. In this case we need to measure the distance of A from a point F (center of dilation) the we multiply it by 0.25 (the scale factor) then using the same path we measure the distance we get to locate point A'. Hence, by so doing point A' will be (1,0).
